When Truth Surface (Book #2 of "When Secrets Surface")

Chapter 8

Sophie's POV

So Naylene was probably intercepted somewhere outside the party venue and anywhere else in Inglewood.

Crap.

I needed a limiting factor to get a smaller possible area where she was last seen.

I have made an estimated time for the time she was kidnapped for now it's 6:00pm to midnight.

That's too vast of a time frame.

Was this case even getting anywhere?

She's been missing for 4 days.

Most people are found in the 3-day window after that the chances of coming back ever dead or alive are low.

Very low.

I had already exceeded that.

I need to act fast.

Maybe there's hope.

I found Dad 5 years after his initial disappearence.

So what if we are not lucky enough?

No, think positively stop that Sophie.

I felt someone grab my arm and turn me around.

"Miss me," It was Theo.

"Please leave me alone," Why was he back?

"But you were calling me babe a few months ago weren't you?" That was a mistake.

I dated a manipulative rat.

"Why... why are you... here?" Why was I stammering?

Hold yourself together.

"I'm taking your breath away," Theo said.

"Please stop," I said.

"Well, Sophie I will answer your question I need to learn and make your life hell," Theo said taking a dark turn.

"I'm begging you to leave me alone. Let me be," Why am I so scared?

Why am I begging him?

"You know Sophie I lost everything because of you. I lost my Dad. His company. I lost my Mother's love and my brother's they don't even talk to me or even look at me. Now we are going broke Sophie," He said his gaze never leaving mine.

I can't listen to him anymore. I can't.

He grabbed my arm.

"Why!" I yelled.

"You're scared of me Sophie. I'm not a monster," He said staring at me with his piercing blueish-green eyes.

"You tried to kill me," I said my voice shaking.

"Because My Dad and I knew you would snitch and you did. Now I'm broke Sophie," He said.

Why was he saying my name like that, why?

"Theo, please leave me," I said.

"You still call me Theo nice. You made my life hell now I'm going to help Bella to make your life more than hell," Theo said smirking.

He grabbed my face, "You're still pretty Soph. "

"Why are you flirting with me, why?" I was shaking.

"Just stating facts dear. Too bad Bella and I are going to ruin your pretty face," He released my face.

"Rat," I mumbled under my breath.

"Frick off I hate you," He said.

"Go and dig a hole and bury yourself," I retorted under my breath.
